In
July, 2007, Stried Painting, Inc. teamed up with Abbott
Laboratories to provide materials and patching work to the
Neal Math and Science Academy in North Chicago, district
#187. The Neal Math and Science Academy is dedicated to helping
students find success as they prepare for high school. The
school features 7th and 8th grade students that are well on
their way to success! Thanks to everyone at Abbott that pitched
in and gave some classrooms a facelift!
In
August, 2007, Stried Painting, Inc. once again teamed up with
Abbott Laboratories to provide painting services and supplies
for the new HealthReach Community Care Clinic in Mundelein.
HealthReach Community Care Clinic was established in 1992 to
provide health care for uninsured individuals living below the
federal poverty line. Stried Painting, Inc. is proud to have
been able to serve the community and the people that will be
receiving quality care through the HealthReach Clinic. To see
how you can become involved in this clinic, please visit

volunteering and donating to this very worthy cause.
In June 2006, Stried Painting, Inc. donated painting services to
A Safe Place in Waukegan, IL. A Safe Place provides shelter,
court advocacy and counseling services for victims of domestic
violence. To find out more about this organization, visit

As we all know, the Holiday Season is a time to give of
ourselves. At times, those experiences of giving enrich not only
the lives of others, but our own lives. Recently, Stried
Painting, Inc. was privileged to be involved with Project
Patrick in Lake Zurich, Illinois.
Patrick Leibforth is just under a year old and was born with a
congenital heart defect. His parents, Bob and Mary, work around
the clock monitoring him or visiting him in the hospital. Due to
the huge expense of growing medical bills, the addition and
renovation on their home was delayed and the house fell into
disrepair. Along with several other local contractors, Stried
Painting, Inc. jumped at the chance to lend a hand.
On December 9, 2005, we completed some paint work in the
Leibforth’s home. Many of us see our home as our sanctuary and
we were happy to help the Leibforth Family feel more comfortable
in their home during these difficult times. Our warmest wishes
go out to them this Holiday Season. If you would like to know
more about this little miracle named Patrick, please visit
www.projectpatrick.org and see what you can do to help. Happy
Holidays!
On May 21st 2005, Stried Painting, Inc. was a proud participant
in the
Great Strides Walk for Cystic Fibrosis, at Independence
Grove in Libertyville. According to the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation, CF is a genetic disease affecting approximately
30,000 Americans. A defective gene causes the body to produce
abnormally thick mucus that clogs the lungs, pancreas and other
organs. Even with today's medical advances, the median age of
survival for a person with CF is the mid 30's.
At Stried Painting, Inc. we think it is important to give back
to our community. We had a great time at the Great Strides Walk,
and we are looking forward to the 2005 North Shore Classic Golf
outing for Cystic Fibrosis on September 26th at the Merit Club
in Libertyville. We hope to see you there!
